Hi, I’m Sophie

Welcome to my creative space
I’m a 26 year old creative who specialises in research and insights. I have been in the design industry since 2017 and have largely been contracting for the past three years.
In August 2022 my partner and I left Aotearoa to spend 6 months exploring Asia while working on the go. Being able to work while traveling was a dream come true. An incredible experience that we had to document.
This personal portfolio is a curation of my personal work, travels and learnings.

About Me

An eye for the overlooked
As a researcher you’re often noticing the overlooked, finding hidden gems and always questioning. I believe that research and truly understanding your audience is key. This provides a solid foundation to all future decisions.
Throughout my career I’ve had the privilege of working on a range of projects. From small startups to large-scale government projects.

About Me

Passion for learning & education
In 2021 I found my passion for education through tutoring at AUT.  I LOVED helping students grasp the design industry and deepen their skill set with techniques and advice. These partnerships and relationships has moved into long term relationships with students. My passion for teaching and helping others has also led to creating educational contents for various brands and creating LMS Systems.

About Me

Sharing experiences
on the go
I believe that some of the best ways to gain insights is through new experiences. My love for travel and new experiences has meant that  living life on the go is the perfect opportunity for creativity to grow.
